The legislators who made abortion illegal in Alabama are all men – the reactions

Alabama just made abortion’s a felony. From the moment of conception, you can’t have an abortion. It doesn’t matter if you’re raped. You have to have the baby. If you abort? 99 years in prison. That’s more time than the rapist would get. I’m physically sick. This is disgusting.

My mum is a nurse, and when I was young I asked her why there’s no abortion debate in the UK. She told me the hideous fact: either women can get them, or they do it themselves with knitting needles. The real debate is: do we care? We’ve just got our answer from Alabama. https://t.co/abQUtdT7kW

In Alabama, the penalty for a doctor who performs an abortion on a patient, even in the case of rape or incest, is more severe than the penalty for actually committing rape or incest. https://t.co/zuKFfczw8g

For anyone horrified by Alabama’s proposed abortion ban, or calling it Gilead. Look closer to home! Northern Ireland does not permit abortions even in cases of rape, incest or fatal foetal abnormality. The ONLY exception is endangerment to a woman’s life.
